Never too late: learn to build your own website, at any age
A site for the club, a page for your hobby or your B&B, or simply wanting to know how it works: web design is fun at any age. Lurndo is made for everyone from 14 to 80.
You learn at your own pace, in short lessons explained in plain language. Nobody's watching and nothing has to be quick.
Why Lurndo suits you
At your own pace
A lesson takes a few minutes, and you stop whenever you like. Your progress is saved.
Plain language
No jargon without an explanation. Every new idea comes with a page where the elements light up, so you see what it's about.
Big and clear
Big buttons, clear colours for right and wrong, and an editor with helper keys for the characters you need most.
Mistakes are fine
Hints get more concrete step by step, and after a few tries you may look at the solution. A lesson never stops because you made a mistake.
Give it a go
The flavours are a bit small. Make the text of the list flavours bigger, with font-size: 1.5rem.

The first two modules teach you to build a page and give it a style of its own. They're free, and so is the third.
- 1First pageYour first client with a website: Cold Comfort, an ice cream parlour in Brighton. You learn what HTML is, write headings and paragraphs, nest elements, add emphasis, make links and put images on the page.
- 2First styleYour second client: the Snip & Curl hair salon in Leeds. You learn what CSS is, how to link a stylesheet, and you give the site colours, good-looking text, backgrounds and the right sizes.

Why won't my link turn red? My rule is right there.
Most likely another rule wins. When two rules pick the same element, the more specific one wins: nav a beats a, even if a comes later in your file. Only when they're equal does the last one win.
So look for a selector that points at your link more precisely than yours. Which one do you find?
